Ensartinib for Cancer
Trial Summary
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
Yes, you may need to stop some medications. You cannot take other anti-cancer agents, investigational drugs, or strong CYP3A4 inducers/inhibitors. If you're on corticosteroids, you must be on a stable or decreasing dose for at least 7 days before enrolling. Anti-GVHD agents post-transplant are also not allowed. Check with the study team for specific guidance on your medications.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you stop taking certain medications before enrolling. You cannot be on other anti-cancer agents, investigational drugs, or strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4. If you're on corticosteroids, you need to be on a stable or decreasing dose for at least 7 days before enrolling.
What data supports the idea that Ensartinib for Cancer is an effective treatment?
The available research does not provide any data on Ensartinib for Cancer. Instead, it focuses on another drug, Sorafenib, which is used for treating different types of cancer, such as renal cell carcinoma and breast cancer. Sorafenib has shown effectiveness in prolonging the time patients live without their cancer getting worse, compared to a placebo. However, this information does not relate to Ensartinib, so we cannot determine its effectiveness from the provided data.12345
What safety data exists for Ensartinib (also known as Ensacove, X-396, Ensartinib Hydrochloride) for cancer treatment?
The provided research does not contain specific safety data for Ensartinib or its other names. It focuses on other cancer treatments like avapritinib, encorafenib, lenvatinib, regorafenib, and sorafenib, discussing their adverse events and management. To find safety data for Ensartinib, further research specifically targeting this drug is needed.678910
Is the drug Ensartinib a promising treatment for cancer?
What is the purpose of this trial?
This phase II Pediatric MATCH treatment trial studies how well ensartinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with ALK or ROS1 genomic alterations that have come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) and may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Ensartinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
